These are the lady's athletic shoes that help to combat the effects of plantar fasciitis with a comfortably soft, stabilizing orthotic footbed that provides superior arch support. Recipient of the prestigious American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Acceptance, the shoes have deep heel cups molded into their shock-absorbing EVA footbeds, aligning the feet into a natural position for those who over-pronate, when the heel bone angles inward, a determining factor in the development of plantar fasciitis. The shoes have mesh uppers, strong heel counters, lightweight CME midsoles, TRP midfoot stabilizers, and resilient rubber outsoles with a non-slip pattern. The biomechanical footbeds provide optimal comfort and support when the shoes are worn for at least a few hours per day over the course of two weeks. Women's sizes. White or Dark Gray. (1 1/2 lbs.)

I never write reviews, but these shoes are so amazing that I wanted to share my experience. I have a heel spur and have tried all sorts of orthotic inserts, but these shoes relieved the pain as soon as I put them on, allowing me to walk and shop for a couple of hours comfortably. The arch support prevents pronation and the toe box is roomy enough to be comfortable on my bunion. Wish there were a whole line of such shoes that are fashion-savvy to wear to work....

The inside of the shoe is hard and doesn't provide any cushioning. I was more uncomfortable in this shoe than I have been in my gel sole inserted shoe. For plantar fasciitis, it seems that an orthodic component should be for padding and cushioning in the heel. This was NOT the case for comfort.

I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis almost 10 years ago and have spent these last 10 years trying out all sorts of different sneakers, inserts, treatments...it's a very controllable condition if you have the right tools. These sneakers are the first ever where I don't have to modify them in any way...no special inserts - nothing. It's fantastic. No pain, no soreness - they are comfortable and stylish. Why all shoes don't have this kind of food bed is beyond me! If you have this condition this shoe is the answer!

My feet haven't felt so good in years. I've now ordered three different pairs of shoes from Hammacher and love them all. Even though these shoes are a little tight in the toe area, they're not unbearable. The pros way outweigh the cons. Thank you for a company that has finally created a product that helps. Be sure and order a half size up on this shoe. I wear an 8 1/2 and had to get a 9.
